Dr. Franck has appeared on the "Morning in America" radio show as well Fox News, CNN, and NPR. This is a NOT TO BE MISSED evening - "How Safe Is Our Religious Freedom Today?" In his presentation, Dr Franck will discuss how the various developments on the American political and social scene have jeopardized our country's commitment to the full protection of religious freedom promised by our Constitution. The growth of government power over the decisions we make in fields like employment and health care, the progress of the "LBGT" movement in changing the shape of our laws, and a growing secular skepticism about the value of religion itself, all threaten to downgrade our commitment to preserving religious freedom. On the other hand, recent Supreme Court decisions have been very positive for religious liberty. Questions Dr Franck will address in his talk are "What is the present shape of things and what are religious freedom's future prospects?" A "Free Will" collection will be taken to support our Adult Faith Program.
